Coalition Talks Break Down After Winston Reveals He Doesn’t Drink Wakachangi
NO DEAL.
Coalition talks to form the next New Zealand Government have ground to a screeching halt after Winston Peters, the leader of the New Zealand First Party, made a stunning revelation to Prime Minister-elect Christopher Luxon.
Peters, known for his affinity for straight talk and no-nonsense politics, dropped a bombshell that sent shockwaves through Luxon’s National Party office – he doesn’t drink Wakachangi lager.
Luxon’s National Party, closely aligned with the ACT Party, had been counting on Peters and his New Zealand First Party to form a government. The negotiations had been progressing, albeit with a fair share of political wrangling and compromise, as is customary in coalition talks. However, the entire house of cards came crashing down when Peters dared to defy the sacred elixir of Wakachangi beer.
